Fantasia News, Pictures, and Videos

The 27-year-old singer and American Idol season 3 champ gave birth on Tuesday (December 13) in North Carolina. Dallas, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 9 oz., joins older sister Zion, 10, according to People.

“I feel so blessed that my son Dallas Xavier was born healthy, and is a wonderful new addition to our family. I thank all my fans for their well wishes and continued support,” she told the mag.

Fantasiaannounced her pregnancy in August while performing at a charity concert. Though she hasn’t revealed the baby’s father, she was last romantically linked to Antwaun Cook.

The 27-year-old American Idol winner sang at a charity event over the weekend for the opening of the Riverview Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida, when she announced the news.

“You are the first persons that I share this news with,” Fantasia said. “And I share this with you because I can relate to you. And for a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me. But now I tell you I don’t live my life for folk.”

“This child that I’m carrying, God has given me this child. And I don’t have to hide it from none of y’all,” she added.

Fantasia already has a 9-year-old daughter, Zion, who will celebrate her tenth birthday next week.

Fantasia belts out “Bittersweet,” the new single off her third album Back to Me, on Tuesday (August 24) inside the Good Morning America studio in NYC.

The 26-year-old singer returned to the stage for the first time since her hospitalization and overdose earlier this month.

“I think I was just overloaded with everything, with carrying six years of so much,” the season 3 American Idol champ toldGMA anchor Robin Roberts. “I always take a licking and keep on ticking…it just became heavy for me to the point that I just wanted to be away from the noise.”

“There’s so much that people don’t understand. They just see the glitz and the glamour, and they feel like life is so perfect, but we’re human and we go through things,” she said.

Fantasia has opened up about her overdose earlier this month…and she says that the incident was no accident.

“I didn’t have any fight in me. I didn’t care about anything. I just wanted out,” the 26-year-old singer told VH1 (via People). “At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with – all of it, all of that s—.”

A new Behind The Music featuring Fantasia will air this Tuesday (August 24) at 9/8c – the same day that her new album, Back to Me, comes out.

“I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace,” Fantasia continued. “I knew exactly what I was doing. You can’t accidentally take a whole bottle of pills.”
